im just curious, how many cranks does it take others cars to start

Im purchasing a car this weekend

and it take ROUGHLY 5-10 cranks to start an he says its normal

mods are as follows

HKS 264 cams, HKS High Power Exhaust, Buschur Racing Intercooler w/ lower piping, Buschur upper IC piping, ams slim battery kit, RNR gt35r kit, twin exedy clutch, 780cc injectors, walbro 255 HP, AMS fuel rail, arp head studs, AMS alky injection, Greddy Type S bov

Interior Modifications: AEM EMS w/ UEGO wideband, Greddy Turbo Timer, Greddy Profec B Spec II

is this true?

thanks

 

oh uhm gee i think if it takes more than one, its NOT normal i wouldnt buy that car

 

1/2 - 1 crank, mini batt's lose cranking power over time, and can damage the flywheel. good luck

That's normal for AEM EMS equipped car especially during cold day.

 

My friend has an EVO with a AEM EMS and it takes him a few cranks to start it. I guess it is normal for a mini battery and AEM EMS car.

Aem EMS primes the fuel system before starting so yes its normal.

 

well then... i retract my previous statement.... its totally NORMAL then.. lol i never knew that... probably cuz ive never used an aem ems...

 

+1. As soon as I saw this thread I searched for "EMS" and sure enough this car has one. One of the issues of the EMS.

 

My car does the opposite, it starts up so easily and adruptly. It started doing it when i added the larger injectors; takes 1/2 maybe 1 turn.

 

EMS + Cold = Many cranks to start

Sounds very normal

 

5.78

 

a buddy of mine had an AEM on his old evo and it took like 3-5 SECONDS for the engine to turn over. i remember him saying how the aem does some sort of system check before it allows the engine to actually start up...dont take this as scripture tho...heavily modded evos are a gamble to buy even if ur friends with the prior owner

 

whether its 10 below or 90 degrees out my car starts instantely. Maybe 2-3 cranks at the most. And thats with the buscur mini battery.

Tottaly normal...same with my car....it cranks late but it always does...not a problem...I would take the extra cranks for the power delivery and smooth curve that I get with AEM EMS.
